The video tutorial explains how to calculate the radius of a cylinder given its height and volume. It starts with an intuitive approach, suggesting that if a cylinder's height increases, its radius must decrease to maintain the same volume. The formula for the radius is derived from the volume formula of a cylinder. The tutorial then applies this formula to a problem where a second cylinder is 100 times taller but has the same volume, resulting in a radius that is 1/10th of the original. The solution is verified through mathematical reasoning.

What is the formula used by Jill to calculate the radius of a cylinder?

r = v * h / pi

r = pi * v * h

r = sqrt(v / (pi * h))

r = v / (pi * h)
